Knitters, start your engines! (Erm, spin your ball winders?) Today’s the day our Classic Raglan KAL gets underway. By now, I’m guessing that you’ve purchased your pattern, bought your yarn, gathered your needles and made a swatch. (Jane has some good advice about why you might want to consider swatching in the round, if you’re [...]
